JOSEPH SHAOKLETON, OF NEWT YORK, N. Y.

RADIATOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part f Letters Patent NO. 400,258, dated March 26, 1889.

Application filed February 13, 1888. Serial No. 263,808. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom zit may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH SHAcKLEToN, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented anr Improvement in Radiators and the following is declared to be a description of the same.

My invention relates to a radiator wherein circulating water is employed as the medium for giving out the heat, such waler being heated by steam-pipes in the lower portion of the radiator, and the water being caused to circulate through horizontal pipes and end columns back and forth and upwardly, the cooled return-water passing down at one side of a division in one end column and being again heated up and caused to circulate, as before.

In the drawings, Figure l represents a vertical longitudinal section of my improved radiator. Fig. 2 is a cross-section of one end column at the line a: af, and Fig. 3 is a crosssection of the other end column at the line `y y.

A B represent the end columns, to which the horizontal pipes a are connected at cach end. The column A is of cast metal, and made with a foot-piece, b, and with horizontal partitions l 2 3 4 passing across the column between the pairs of pipes c.. The column B is also of cast metal, and made with a footpiece, c, and with a vertical partition, d, within the column, and extending from near the top to near the bottom of the column, and with horizontal partitions 5 G 7 8, that extend across from the Vertical partition d to one side wall of the column and separate the pipes c.

i into pairs` at alternate portions to those of the partitions l 2 3 4. The columns are capped at 9, and the column B has covers l0 in line with the pipe-holes. The supply steam-pipe c has a horizontal branch pipe, e', Vpassing through the column A and second pipe a from the bottom, and thereis a return-bend within the column B, connecting the pipe c with the return steam-pipe f, which pipe f passes through the iirst or lowest pipe a and through the column A and connects with the outer descending pipe, f', and the main pipe c. There is a cock, g, in the pipe e', to regulate the steam-supply, and a check-valve, g, in the pipe f, to allow the Water of condensation to escape. The radiator is filled with water to near the top, and steam passing into the pipes c and f heats up the water, causing it to circulate and pass through the horizontal pipes a and through the chambers in the columns that are separated by the partitions l to 8 back and forth in the direction of the arrows up to the top of the radiator, the return cooled water passing down the column B between the vertical partition d and outer wall and coming in at the bottom of the radiator into the first pipe a, and there it is reheated and the circulation continued.

This improved radiator is simple in con? struction and efficient in its operation, and a positive circulation of hot water is insured therein.

I claim as my inventionl. The combina-tion, with the horizontal pipes d, of the end column, A, having horizontal partitions and connected to the pipes a, and the end column, B, having horizontal 4partitions and vertical partition, and pipes for the supply of steam passing into and through the pipes in the lower portion of the radiator, substantially as set forth.

The combination, with the horizontal pipes a, of the end column, A, connected to said pipes and having horizontal partitions between the pairs of pipes a, the end column, B, also connected to the pipes d, and having a vertical partition, CZ, and horizontal partitions extending from the partition d to one side wall of the column, and the steam-pipes e and f passing through the two lower pipes d and connected to the steam-supply, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

Signed by me this Sth day of February, A. D. 1888.

JOSEPH SI'IAOKLE'ION.
